THINGS 3.23
Repeating to-dos just got far more flexible, with two highly requested improvements: You can now complete them early, and easily reschedule them when plans change! Plus many more refinements throughout.
COMPLETE REPEATING TO-DOS EARLY
Sometimes you’re ahead of schedule and want to tick something off early. Now you can! A repeating to-do now shows a normal checkbox – just like any other to-do – so you can complete it as soon as it’s done.
RESCHEDULE WITH EASE
Repeating to-dos can now be rescheduled, which makes it easy to adapt when plans change. Simply bump it to a new date. If it repeats on a fixed schedule, Things will ask whether you want to make a one-time exception, or update the rule going forward. If it repeats after completion, it simply moves to the new date.
MORE REFINEMENTS
We’ve made a number of other refinements to repeating to-dos:
- The repeating to-do setup dialog has received a visual refresh, and lets you more easily pick the next recurrence date.
- A copy of a repeating to-do now shows a little gray repeat icon to distinguish it from regular to-dos.
- If you want to start working on a repeating project early, you now can! As soon as you start editing its to-dos, Things will offer to create the next copy of the project ahead of time.
- You can manually create the next copy of a repeating to-do ahead of time by right-clicking it and choosing Repeat > Create Next Copy.
- You can now pause, resume, and stop multiple repeating to-dos at once.
- More bug fixes and improvements – see our website for the full release notes.
Last but not least, this update includes a big change under the hood that we’ve been working on for some time: the display and editing of to-dos – both inside lists and when you expand them – is now driven by the same code on Mac and iOS.
Things now requires macOS 13.3 or later.
